Welcome to Portugal Family Life. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://portugalfamilylife.com.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the information shown in the comment form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help detect and prevent spam.
If you use a Gravatar profile, an anonymized string (hash) generated from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you are using it. You can read their privacy policy here: https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture becomes visible to the public alongside your comment.
Media
If you upload images to our website, we recommend avoiding images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors can download and extract this data from your uploaded images.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies. This is for your convenience so you don’t have to fill in your details again when posting another comment. These cookies will remain for one year.
If you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we set cookies to save your login details and screen display preferences. Login cookies last two days, and display preferences last for one year. If you choose “Remember Me,” your login persists for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.
If you edit or publish an article, a cookie will be saved in your browser containing the post ID of the article you edited. It expires after one day and does not contain personal data.
Embedded Content from Other Websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if you visited those websites directly.
These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with their content—especially if you have an account and are logged in on their platform.
Who We Share Your Data With
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email to protect against misuse.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve future comments automatically instead of holding them in moderation.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information provided in their profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal data at any time (except their username). Website administrators can also view and edit that information.
Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on our site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you’ve shared with us. You may also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we are legally required to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where Your Data Is Sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
